      The availability of new lasers in the near-infrared and mid-infrared spectral regions has in turn driven the development of gas measurement sensors that are now widely used in industrial processes
    .
    Molecules based on Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), such as O2, CH4, H2O, CO, CO2, NH3, HCl, and HF, can be detected in situ with high selectivity and sensitivity in continuous, real-time operation
    .
    Using sensitive detection techniques such as wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS), low ppb and ppm concentration measurements can typically be made with integration times of 1 second
    .
    Detection limits can be improved by using decimation sampling and long multi-channel pools
    .
    Currently TDLAS has become a proven technology for difficult measurement tasks in industrial processes, as it is compatible with high temperatures, high pressures, dust levels and corrosive media to determine gas concentration, temperature, velocity and pressure

      Based on the independent research and development of TDLAS technology and lasers, the company has launched the GasTDL-3100 high-performance in-situ laser process gas analyzer.
    It adopts a through-beam design and has a fast response time.
    It is calculated in seconds in the in-situ measurement and can respond in time online The measured gas concentration of O2, CO, CO2 or CH4 avoids the time delay caused by sampling measurement; it has good adaptability in harsh measurement environments such as high temperature, high dust, high moisture, high corrosiveness, and high flow rate; gas The concentration is not easily distorted and the measurement accuracy is high
